I had been under this hospital for many years as it was our closest one. Then I transferred my care to my university hospital and realised just how bad the William Harvey is in comparison. I have Crohn's Disease and whenever I had a flare up I was told to ring the Gastro department for support, but
I could never get the help and answers I needed during my time of need. I would end up visiting my GP instead who would put me on steroids not wanting to go behind the consultants back. After transferring, all my doses of pills were too high, and I realised I was not being given adequate support for this condition. As a result I have been put off returning and will transfer elsewhere in the county.
